About Us

For 20 years, Andrea Houlihan Speech Pathology has been dedicated to serving the Yarra Valley Community. The demand for high quality, family centred Speech Pathology services in our region continues to grow and so we are growing with it! Welcome to Beyond Speech!

Beyond Speech is dedicated to providing high quality, family centred Speech Pathology and Orofacial Myology services to the Yarra Valley and surrounds.

Previously known as Andrea Houlihan, Speech Pathology, our Practice has grown in recent years and it was time we found a name that embodied our growing team and reflected who we support and what we do. And so, Beyond Speech was born.

We work in the areas of speech and language, feeding and swallowing, learning and literacy, fluency, communication skills including and social skills. We work with infants, young children, teens and adults including in aged care. Our highly experienced team work with people with a range of abilities and disabilities including developmental delay, learning difficulties, feeding difficulties, Autism, Down Syndrome, other syndromes and degenerative diseases.

Beyond Speech has an excellent working relationship with schools, other Allied Health professionals, medical and educational service providers within the area. Our collaborative and family centred approach is highly regarded and sought after.
